My oldest son always did this when he was sitting in the high chair eating or getting ready to eat, especially if he was really hungry or excited about the food. He would have one or both arms out almost perpendicular to his body, his wrists would rotate, and his fingers would wiggle. Goofy, but normal I guess. He's 6 now, and still goofy, but normal.

"It doesn't matter anyway" is the mantra of those who don't care enough to do the right thing.

Yes my LO does this, when she's exited. For food too lol, but when she's on her tummy she like raise her legs and arms off the floor and turn her wrists. We call it airplane lol. She's always done this though. When she's on her back she'll lift her legs up and turn et wrist and breath really hard because he get overly exite and doesn't know what to do with her energy lol.

It's so cute! I was concerned about it before, over thinking it I think. I heard people say arm flapping is an early sign of autism so it freaked me out lol, I'd be interested to hear what the dr says, I never asked wished I would

Mrs.Smitten- That is what I was concerned about, Im going to the doctors Thrsday I will ask him just to double check but hopefully its nothing. =) I will let you know if you want what he says lol.

tkelly- Now that I think about it, she does it when she is hungry or excited but after that she gets sleepy/grumpy...hmm..maybe they do it when theyre tired or something? lol. I was just concernedbecause the other babies I know similar to my daughters age dont do the wrist twirling.
